pricing for painting crown molding per foot

I am pricing a large new consruction job for painting. There will be a 7 ”  MDF crown molding installed in nearly every room of the home. What is the going rate per linear foot to paint a crown this size?

As a professional interior painter it’s tough to give a price per linear foot. I’d be happy to look at the job and give a price breakdown but it’s tough to give a price on that without knowing whether it will be painted after everything else… Also, don’t caulk the nail holes, use a wood filler and sand it out. Will look better that way. Caulk all the seams.    Good Luck Andrew Roof www.andrewroofpainting.com 646.326.7171

no such thing.  Talk to 10 painters, you’ll get 10 prices.

The house is new construction so there won’t be anything to move or cover. All nail holes and gaps will need to be caulked. and they are 10 foot ceilings…

I am an Interior Renovator and part of the scope of my work is paint I also work with and know many guys who paint only. I have never used or worked with anyone who uses a liner foot price for painting crown molding. although there is some form of standardize pricing for painting which varys. Some of the factors that will effect price is height of ceiling, is there furniture in room, does molding require caulking sanding filling nail holes.
